PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WILL BE DISCUSSED AND VOTED ON BY THE BOARD AT ITS NEXT MEETING ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1

At the close of our September 17, 2019 public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan, the second of two public hearings, Town Board members discussed amendments that each of them proposed and agreed to furnish their amendments in writing, which they have done.  This follows extensive work over the past four years and more on the Comprehensive Plan update by the Citizen Steering Committee, the public workshops and the Town’s consultant Bergmann Associates.

You can read each Town Board member’s proposed amendments via the links below.  These proposed amendments will be discussed and voted on by the Town Board at its next meeting on Tuesday, October 1 at 6:00pm at Town Hall, 11 South Main Street.

• Amendments proposed by Councilman Kevin Beckford
• Amendments proposed by Deputy Supervisor Kate Bohne Munzinger
• Amendments proposed by Councilman Matt O’Connor
• Amendments proposed by Supervisor Bill Smith
• Amendments proposed by Councilwoman Stephanie Townsend

PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE HELD SEPTEMBER 3 AND 17 TO REVIEW THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE

After an extensive and exhaustive process, Pittsford’s Comprehensive Plan Update is ready for final review by our residents.  There will be two public hearings, both during regularly scheduled Town Board meetings on September 3 and September 17 at 6:00pm in the public meeting room at Town Hall, 11 South Main Street.  Hard copies of the draft plan are available for viewing at Town Hall and at the Pittsford Community Library (24 State Street).

The proposed Comprehensive Plan reflects work over several years by our citizens’ Steering Committee and our consultant. It incorporates ideas suggested, reviewed and approved by our residents through the public engagement sessions and otherwise. A general rule of thumb calls for municipalities to revise their comprehensive plan about once every 10 years. Pittsford completed its last update in 2009.

We look forward to hearing your further comments and finalizing this plan of such importance to Pittsford’s future.

JANUARY 28, 2019
The next community workshop for the Town of Pittsford’s Comprehensive Plan process will take place Monday, January 28, 2019 from 6:00 – 9:00pm at the Pittsford Fire Department Station #2, 465 Mendon Road. The Town’s Comprehensive Plan Committee and its consultant, Bergmann, will present the draft Comprehensive Plan for public comment .

This is an opportunity for residents to share views and ideas about the draft Comprehensive Plan. The draft plan was shaped by community input at public workshops held at the beginning of the process. The plan’s Citizen Committee took this input and worked with the consultant to create the draft plan. The public workshop is to solicit views of residents on the draft before it goes to the Town Board for consideration and adoption.

Plan consultant, Bergmann, will be placing the draft plan on our Comprehensive Plan website for public review. Community engagement in comprehensive planning is indispensable to getting the plan right and applying it successfully over time, with public support. If you can’t make the meeting you can comment online. However we value hearing from residents in person and hope you can join us for this important meeting, as we bring a very thorough public process to its conclusion.
